The TraumaClinic

About Traumaclinic

Traumaclinic is a national network of trauma practitioners headquartered at 7 Summerley Road, Kenilworth, Cape Town 7708. The network was established to address the significant gap in specialist trauma treatment in South Africa — providing expert psychological support not only to individuals in crisis, but also to organisations dealing with occupational trauma and to professionals seeking trauma management training.

The Kenilworth address is confirmed in peer-reviewed academic literature: authors associated with Traumaclinic have published on rape and PTSD in the Journal of Psychology in Africa, directly from the 7 Summerley Road address. Their published clinical work includes case studies of rape survivors who developed chronic PTSD — confirming a genuine, specialist practice focused on sexual trauma.

Services

Traumaclinic provides:

• 24-hour trauma support — the network offers around-the-clock crisis counselling and first-response trauma support, making them accessible to survivors in acute distress outside of office hours.
• Trauma treatment — structured psychological treatment for individuals who have experienced traumatic events, including PTSD, complex trauma, childhood trauma, and sexual trauma.
• Abuse survivors — explicitly listed as a specialisation: Traumaclinic works with survivors of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
• Domestic violence — listed as a specific area of practice.
• Sexual trauma — specialist treatment for survivors of rape and sexual assault.
• Bereavement and grief — support for those experiencing loss associated with violence.
• Occupational trauma — support for first responders, emergency workers, security personnel, and other professionals exposed to traumatic events in their work.
• Trauma management training — capacity building for organisations and management to better understand and respond to trauma in the workplace.

Network Model

Traumaclinic is a network of trained practitioners rather than a single clinic — meaning they have the capacity to provide services across multiple locations and have a broader national reach than a single-location practice. The primary contact point is the Kenilworth office.
